Floor 2-janielsen

You should take your sd card out and find the firmware you want and put it in the sd card.

put sd back in your phone without start the phone

and then push power and volume-, so you are in HBOOT

then to recovery, push power again

now you are in recovery

first make a reset factory

a cache partion delete

go in advance

a dalvik partion

then back one time, choose zip from sd

flash zip now

Floor 3-ME

Do you mean, that I should take sd out and use card reader to put a new ROM in sd and try to install it in the phone?

Floor 4-janielsen

Do you have the original rom or one of them from this forum.

If you have one from this forum, you should use card reader to put that zip file, you have got.

it should remain like zip file.

Floor 5-ME

I have the original rom and also download a new one and it is in my pc now.

I am wondering if I have to S-OFF my phone first? and should I use a lower version of rom, because someone says that it will be lower risk that something goes wrong, if people start use a lower version of rom and upgrade it afterwards.

Floor 6-janielsen

ok, thought you have branded rom in your phone, f.eks.2.2hd portet rom

I dont know really how you can get orignal rom in your phone without could start the phone.

Floor 7-ME

I think we misunderstand her about orignial rom. I mean, that the orignial rom is the original OS installed in the phone whenn I bought it.

Yes, thats right, i can do nothing without could start it. therefore I am going to buy a card reader tomorrow.

DONE.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
So, can you get into recovery as per 'floor 2'?

Power on phone while holding vol down.

Leave for 30 seconds.

Press vol down then power.

You should have a black screen with a green menu.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frederick328:
yes I can go into recovery. the problem is as mentioned I cannot put files into sd card, for it is not recognized by USB when coonection to pc
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
When in recovery mode, go into 'mounts and storage' and choose 'mount sdcard'.

Can your PC see your phone now?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frederick328:
nothing happened when i mounted sd card, but it becomes "unmount sd card" in the menu.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
Right, ok. On your phone, in recovery, go to 'backup & restore' and then 'restore'. What does it say? Does it list the backup you have previously taken?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frederick328:
i have tried restore all the backup i made. process is finished as wished. but when reboot, the same happens again. the screen frosen at the start screen with HTC only
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
Have you tried to wipe cache and dalvik cache (2 different options in the menus, dalvik is under advanced). Then reboot?

This should be done after a successful restore.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frederick328:
no difference. the screen frosen again.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
Ok, 2 options:

Get a cardreader and try an flash a custom rom from your sdcard or

Try running the WWE RUU to get you back to stock again. This wont require a cardreader I don't think.

You choose :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frederick328:
Thank you for your very detailed help.

but I dont know how to do the second option, namely.

"Try running the WWE RUU to get you back to stock again"

What is WWE RUU and how to do it? You mean, it doesnt need card reader, right?

Thanks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] friedkimchi:
If you have access to linux, your sd card should appear. Last time i screwed up my sd card, it couldn't be recognized in either windows or mac os.

Oh and if you have another spare/old phone that uses micro sd card, use that instead of a card reader. Put your 'damaged' sd card in it and connect it to your computer. And reformat.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
We can try it.

To run the RUU, do this....

Download http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.exe

Boot your phone into fastboot. (Power & back button).

Connect phone to PC. On your phone, it should say 'fastboot usb' or similar.

Run the exe you downloaded - make sure to turn off antivirus etc if you have problems.

Note, this will wipe your phone (not sdcard) and you will not be rooted. You can re-root if needed.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
I don't think the cards corrupt as it can be seen through recovery.

However, using an old phone to get access to it is a good idea :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frederick328:
Thanks for your reply.

Unfortunately I dont have old phone, where I can put my sd card and reformat. It seems that i have to buy a card reader.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frederick328:
I dont think either that sd card corrupts.

How can I run exe, without phone can be recognized by pc.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
Have you put your phone into fastboot as described earlier and connected it to your pc? Does it say 'fastboot usb'.

Note, this is power & back key (not vol down).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frederick328:
yes, fastboot USB succeed.

but when I run exe, it says as the pic says.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frederick328:
I dont know if you can see the pic attached.

it says "An error has occurred while running the setup. Please make sure you have finished any previous setup and closed other applications. if the error still occurs, pls contact your vendor."
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
I can't see the pic but have you turned off antivirus etc and run as administrator if not on XP.

also, try installing HTC sync if its not already on your PC if you have further problems.

Report back :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frederick328:
just found out that it was because the exe is not finished download. I have no idea how it could be that exe becomes an EXE file, before it is downloaded finished. Now I have to download it again with 168M full size. Wait a minute. thanks.:)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frederick328:
I want to make sure what I am going to do is correct.

MY PHONES SHOWS as follows now:

BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-ON c

HBOOT-0.93.0003

....

...

FASTBOOT USB

....

....

....

BOOTloader

REBOOT

REBOOT BOOTLOADER

POWER DOWN

My phone is connected with pc, although it has no response.

Now i have to do is to run the exe I download, with shut down antivisus and with HTC syn installed?

Right?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
Yep, and run as administrator if not on XP.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frederick328:
did, but not succeed.

it says in Chinese, i dont know why. try to translate into english.

Error 131: Client ID error

ROM update application cannot update your Andriod phone.

Please install the correct ROM update application, and try again later.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frederick328:
Is it because I have not s-off my phone?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
Sounds like you'll need a goldcard. This will need you to access the sdcard so you will need a reader.

Your phone mustve been branded from new.

I suggest get a cardreader and create a goldcard. There's tutorials on how to do this on the forums.

Then try the RUU again.

Sorry....
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
Or, if you get a cardreader and can get into recovery still, you could flash anu custom rom from there.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frederick328:
no problem. Thank you very much for your great help.

You will be informed on my phone...:) have a good sunday... Thank you again.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
No problem.

Post back with your progress :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
Just had another thought...

You could download the Android SDK and run the following fastboot command:

fastboot oem enableqxdm 0

If you google that command, you will find lots of information on how to run it.

This should re-enable your sdcard.

Also, do a search on 'desire usb brick'. There maybe some information that helps.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sandi K:
I got the same problems as author of this theme. Phone rebooted, after reboot it show main screen with Sense, then rebooted again. After that, all tries to power phone ended with HTC logo on white screen. I sent it to service it.

Sandi
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frederick328:
Thank you very much again for your help. My problem is solved by putting a custom ROM in the root of sd card by card reader, which I bought today. and delete all other files in sd card. restart phone to recovery and install it from there. My phone is fresh new again. thanks a lot...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frederick328:
Dont worry. I had the same problem as you did.

If your phone can recognized by pc when connecting usb, so you download a new rom, put it in the root of sd card, and back to recovery and install it.

if your phone cannot be recognized by pc, so you have to use a card reader, or as mentioned earlier in this thread, use your old phone to connect your sdcard to pc.

It will help.

but I strongly suggest that before you do anything, you read through all posts in this thread, there are lots of trials you can try. Good luck with your phone.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
Happy you got it sorted eventually :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrbluesman:
this can happen after you root with unrevoked and do your first nandroid backup, just boot into recovery and restore the backup that you made and you should be good to go, it only happens once and it happened to me when i rooted mine
[HTC Aria General] fmac:
Hi everyone,

I recently changed my HTC's Aria digitizer because it was cracked.

During the process everything went smoothly however after that I have discovered that when a person calls me or when I call someone the screen turns off and never gets back to normal if there is no other "stimulation" such as putting the phone to charge for example.

My guess was there was a problem with the sensor so under settings I chose to keep the screen awake at all times during a phone call, still, I am having the same problem.

The weird thing is that sometimes when I remove the battery cover everything works fine and the screen keeps on, but sometimes not, so its not a constant rule..

I may have messed up something during the replacement of the digitizer (its just the glass not the lcd) such as removing the sensor and not placing it back correctly but the thing is that I dont really know the components of this device so Im not sure what is what..

If anyone could help me to understand the problem a little bit I would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advanced..
[HTC Aria General] fmac:
Anyone? Please :(
[HTC Aria General] duckredbeard:
The sensor is right above the AT&T logo. If the little rubber ring isn't perfectly aligned with the sensor, you will have this problem. My wife's phone has a similar problem and it is fixed (temporarily) by firmly pressing on that corner. The adhesive strips have failed and I am looking for a source besides "Repairs Universe".
[HTC Aria General] fmac:
Thanks a lot!

I will try to take apart my Aria again and see if I can align it correctly

thanks again
[HTC Aria General] Sirfearoth:
glad that i found this, having same issues with my wife's aria, will give it a shot

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Namit1994:
I know that 32a has more ram and different frequency than 32b but can i flash a 32a rom on a 32b? Will there be any difference in functionality?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yohshua:
if you do it may be slower because you do not have as much ram as a 32a dose
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Namit1994:
Thanks! I am kind of new to this stuff. I want to port a ROM that was made for 32A over to 32B. It's called Superhero - in mt3g section. Any tips on how to do that?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yohshua:
it could be some work so if your new this may not by the best thing to try but if you want i can tell you how it is done
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Namit1994:
Sure I would like to know how. Do I have to know any type of programming language?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Namit1994:
By the way, I flashed it thinking it was also for 32B g1. Then I flashed a 2708 kernel. It booted and everything but wifi was broken along with the camera.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yohshua:
thouse are thing things that need to be fixed for wifi the files in the zip need to be changed to use that will work for that rom also cam drivers need to be changed if iam not wrong on the cam part
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Namit1994:
I changed wlan.ko but it did not help. Anything else I should change? What files should I change to get the camera to work?
[Legend Android Development] mikereidis:
I'm working to enable FM radio functionality, RX and TX on HTC Legend and other devices with TI FM chip.

I need help to get this done ASAP. I'm an experienced embedded Linux dev, but I'm pretty new to smartphones and Android.

A few weeks back I managed to muddle my way through on phone gold card creation, downgrading, rooting, CWMod (2.5 ?) installation, CMMod7 nightly install, S-Off and new Radio flash. Since then I haven't flashed anything and probably forgot half of what I learned.

So now I want to flash the best ROM for the purpose of figuring out the audio routing "secrets" of the HTC FM app. Any suggestions for the best ROM for that purpose ?

Next, I could use some pointers to the best posts or web pages to refer to for flashing the HTC Rom, and then later flashing back to CM7. As easy as possible. Can I do something Nandroid like and save the entire state of the phone to easily get me back to where I started with CM7 ?

Yes, I AM a dev, but very much appreciate easy to follow step by steps that don't leave me scratching my head wondering if I'll brick my device or create some other catastrophy . Eg: Should I ignore those error messages or not worry ? Do I have to reboot 5 times while clicking my heels ? Etc.

Once I get the above figured out, perhaps this thread can be used for discussion of the observations and any reverse engineering results.

Thanks !
[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
Well, the best ROM would probably be BlaY0's, as it has the FM functionality. Take a nandroid of that and then install CM (as that's what your developing for, ye?). Then nandroid the CM and you can easily switch between the 2 without the need to set it up again.

BlaY0's ROM is based of the official HTC one, so it would probably do for the reverse engineering stuff. Thus I don't think you'd need to go back to a stock HTC ROM. If you do you can just flash a pre-rooted one (found here) and that would do it.
[Legend Android Development] mikereidis:
OK, thanks GrammarFreak. BlaY0's ROM 0.7 it is.

Hate to be/seem so newb-ish....

So I'm running CM7 now. So:

(1) Run ROM Manager Backup.

(2) Watch phone go into recovery mode with red triangle and exclamation mark.

(3) Don't freak as the backup will take maybe 10-20 minutes or so.

(4) Phone reboots back to CM7 I presume.

(5) Pull any important data from sdcard including ROM backup files.

(6) Download http://blay0.r3volutionary.net/b-0.7.zip

(7) Run ROM Manager to flash Blayo.

(8) Reboot and mess around with Blayo ROM.

(9) When done messing, optionally save Blayo ROM and mods with ROM Manager Backup.

(10) Use ROM Manager restore to return to CM7 ROM.

Sound good ? I don't even have to remember which key when booting brings up CWMod recovery mode ?

I couldn't find a canonical web page documenting CWMod/ROM Manager and it's usage.

Gee my phone has been stuck in red mode for a while now...

EDIT: So I'm reading threads and getting the impression the red triangle is not what I want. So I run "adb reboot" and will check and see if the backup looks good.

I can understand that the "community" has to somehow pull together to pool info, but my experience seems typical of what so many face.

In order to figure out some sort of semi-foolproof method of doing XYZ it seems I have to search threads all over to collect the full info. 50-100+ page threads are a challenge. Do I start with the first few posts or pages of posts, or should I skip to somewhere near the end for latest info ? Yes I can read to see if first posts are updated etc.

Before I started the rooting process on my phone, I read QUITE a few big threads from begin to end. And I made LOTS of notes to try and figure it all out and avoid problems. And my head got so full it almost exploded, and I almost sorta gave up, dived in, did a few more google searches on the way and thankfully finally ended up with a nicely open device.

But it all seems so ridiculously difficult, UNLESS you happen to come across some very succinct, accurate and informative HOWTO somewhere that works well for you.

/rant off
[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
Ok, I want you to do a couple of things:

Forget about ROM manager, it's a piece or crap and it creates more problems than it solves.

So, you said you performed S-OFF, correct? Did you let the S-OFF procedure install ClockworkMOD recovery? Given the red triangle of doom I doubt it. No worries. Here's what you do:

Download this (it's the ADB tools) to a known location. Then extract the zip to a known location. Open a command window in that location (for the sake of this guide: C:\ADB) So open CMD (start, run, type CMD, hit enter) In CMD type "cd C:\ADB". Plug your phone into the computer (make sure you're using CM). Debugging mode should be on (you'll get a notification in the status bar of your phone). Now, I want you to download this (CWM 2.5) and save it to C:\ADB. In CMD type "adb push recovery.img /sdcard" Wait for it to complete. It will output a file-size, time taken and resultant transfer rate. When it's completed type "adb shell". You'll end up with a "#" and nothing else (if you get a "$" just type "su" and hit enter, and on the phone's screen accept the Superuser request). Now, type "flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img", let it do it's thang. When you see the "#" type "reboot recovery", and your phone will reboot to CWM. This is what I refer to as a win ;)

Now, from clockworkMOD you can use the trackball (move and click) to select "backup/restore" then "backup". Let it do its stuff. Once backed up you can flash B-0.7 and then back that up. Note down the name of each backup so you know which is which ;)
[Legend Android Development] mikereidis:
Thanks for the newb-friendly instructions. Much of I don't need, but may help others.

I'm running Linux, I've had adb etc installed for 2 weeks. I've got the SDK installed w/ Eclipse but never tried it, but have done App Inventor. And I've been poking around in the innards of the various source codes, binaries, firmwares and other files for the last 2 weeks too.

OK, I'll "Forget about ROM manager" and just use CWM after manually rebooting into it with Volume Down or whatever.

I'm pretty positive I'm S-OFF and have CWM 2.5.0.0.7 or so installed. ROM Manager says so. I have CWM on before I S-Offed using the Bell/Virgin modified alpharev boot disk.

I'll do the backup manually with CWM later tonight when I get back to this. I checked the SD and the backup isn't there, although there are still 3 backups I took when I installed CM7 2 weeks ago.

So I guess I do a complete flush or wipe or whatever when installing the new (or a backed up) ROM ? And since the backup is a nandroid type it will absolutely restore to exactly the same state as when the backup was taken ? But the SD card is not touched...

EDIT:

"adb reboot recovery" gives me red triangle of doom.

"adb reboot bootloader" gives me AlphaRev and I see S-Off and HBOOT 1.000000000

Did AlphaRev remove CWM ?
[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
Given that you get the red triangle we can assume you don't have CWM installed to /recovery, you have it in fakeflash. Nothing inherently wrong with that, just FYI ;)

As for your rant in post numero uno, I've often considered trying to put together a comprehensive "document" on the matter, but it'd take an age and would probably raise more questions than it'd answer. :D

See above about fakeflash. You could well use the image I linked above and use flash_image on the phone or fastboot to flash it ;)
[Legend Android Development] speedyink:
Fakeflash is pretty easy, I either do that or do my business in rom manager as I find that easy.

Rom manager method for installing a new rom:

If rom manager isn't installed, do so from the market

start up rom manager

tap "backup current ROM" (I suggest naming your backup, I just use the rom name)

Let it reboot and do it's thing

When it's booted back into CM7, open up rom manager again

tap "install ROM from SD card"

browse your sd for your rom and tap it.

You are presented with 2 check box options

Since we already backed up make sure "backup existing rom" is unchecked

If you are flashing a new rom, make sure "Wipe Data and Cache" is checked

If you are flashing a newer version of the same rom, you can leave this area unchecked as it will not erase the stuff stored on the phones built in memory

Press ok, let it do it's thing and thats it.

Place the fakeflash update.zip from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=698404 on the root of your sd card

turn off your phone

Hold the volume down button as you press the power button

using the volume buttons, navigate to "recovery"

press power

your phone will reboot to th red triangle (of DOOOM)

Don't panic, hold volume up and press power (if it gives you an error just wait few seconds)

Using the volume buttons to scroll and power for enter choose "apply sdcard:update.zip"

Use the trackball and go to "Nandroid" if you are using ClockWorkMod 2.5.xxx fake flash or "backup and recovery" if you are using ClockWorkMod 3.xxx

hit "backup"

Let it do it's thing

If you're installing a new rom, scroll to "wipe data/factory reset", wait, then choose "wipe cache partition". If your installing a newer version of the same rom, don't bother.

Scroll to "install zip from sdcard"

scroll to "choose zip from sdcard"

choose your zip, let it do it's thing, and thats that.

You're SD is not touched at all during flashing, no need to backup those files.

Wow, can't believe I typed all that out...
[Legend Android Development] mikereidis:
Thanks. Maybe that's my boot loop or whatever problem now. I didn't recall seeing that option, but should be there with CWMod, so I'll try installing Blayo again after that.

There was some Wipe in main menu, and another w/ factory reset. Also in advanced menu I selected Wipe Dalvik cache. I left the Battery Stats alone. Hmmm. Naah !

Did all 3 wipe twice for good luck. Rebooted in between. Installed. Now waiting... Oh here's the HTC screen again. Time to read the Blayo thread to see how long to wait. etc.

Man what a pain ! Yet likely a world easier than the new paths I attempted to forge on my previous LG Optimus Chic resulting in a hard brick, LOL.

WOOHOO ! Success I think ! :)
[Legend Android Development] whitetigerdk:
Welcome to the BlaY0 universe.. Just remember that many of us went through this journey as well to have our phone in same state ;) Glad you got to fully download the BlaY0 rom from my mirror.. now happy reverse engineering..
